How to turn a 10 hour trip into 24 hours

Dad and I set out at 9a Sunday from U-hual to pick up a parts car for our other projects. After the frame and front windshield.

We made it to the guys house at 2:30p I crawled under the car to check the frame and its pristine. Windshield was also perfect. Paid him $600 with a smile.

Took us almost 3 hours to get this turd on the trailer. Rear end was completely locked up and that makes it pretty tricky to load one, even with the 5k winch we had it was a task. At the end we snagged the seller to use his tractor to get the rear end on the trailer better.

Done and on the road. We were about 4 hours from home, ETA was ~ 930p

Stopped at Buccee's to fill up and check everything. Seemed to be set

We made it about 45 minutes before one of the U-Haul tires completely imploded. Luckily we were able to get off at a exit and off the road

No biggie, U-hual offers roadside assistance (it was in fact a biggie) 2 hours later roadside reached us

He worked for about 20 minutes then told us, "Oops I grabbed the wrong size tire, I have to go back to the shop" 🤦 Asked him how long that would be and he said, "40 minutes tops." Since we were kinda SOL, we set and wait. Road side dude left his expensive airjack and all under the trailer so we figured he'd come back....right....? He did not in fact come back. Reached back out to U-Haul after another 2 hours and told them to figure it out. They had another one heading my way, but at least an hour out. Second roadside assistance dude pulls up. Super nice, on top of things, and done in like 7 minutes. We were finally back on the road. We yanked the car off the trailer at around 4a at my parents. I dropped off the U-Haul trailer with the sunrise around 530a

I pulled into my driveway at around 7a... While this was not an adventure I'd want to do again, stoked to have a pristine frame for my blue 2 door, 1966 Ford LTD!
